I made a mistake up there when I said we played really well. I meant to say we played much better. There was more passing and a lot less wild balls over the top from the back.

I don't want to see Sanneh on the pitch anymore.I'd much rather have Marshall in there. We played really well but we just couldn't finish. There were many shots but not many of them were on target. We had a couple good ones on target but Burpo got them. Alan Gordon had a goal and then there was a BS offsides called on it. We can not go to PKs while we still have Saunders. He is pure garbage... and then a little worse than that on PKs. Saunders did have one really amazing save though. I liked our defense way better tonight.

Overall, sad. Just plain sad. Up a man for damn near 100 minutes and we can't seal the deal. In the credit where credits due department, Saunders came up with a pair of very nice saves at the end of the game to keep us from loosing earlier. How pathetic is that? I thought Berhaulter looked pretty good. He kept a back line of three rookies in good shape and provided a leading force back there. Gonzalez made a few mistakes but in general contributed more positive than negative. DeLaGarza looked much better than a couple of weeks ago. Kyle Patterson is just a human turn over. Nuff Said. Miglioranzi did not impress. Given his seniority we must be paying him more than he seems to be worth. I really like Jordan's hustle and work rate but he just doesn't have any flair with the ball. He had several chances he didn't make anything of and provided the best save of the night for Colorado when he took a blast from Gordon in the chest to prevent a goal. He also couldn't get a break from the Ref. The Colorado defensemen just pushed him around all night. Tristan Bowen was sort of neutral but, heck, he's just 17 and I think this was his first time in a Galaxy uniform. Gordon came on in the 60th minute and has some good chances but he still has a first touch of stone. Klein also came on in the 60th and provided some good service but that's about it. I don't think I have anything to say about the other players, McGee, Tudela, Marshall or Kirovski. Looks like you had the running blog from a couple of guys
